According to the latest advisory, the heat in the Central US will be above-average. As of September 18, the temperatures could reach from 10 to 20 degrees above normal.

Residents can expect high temperatures from the mid-80s and 90s. On Wednesday, the heat could likely reach parts of the East and Great Lakes Region.

On Tuesday, the Southern Great Plains can also expect potential severe thunderstorms. Hail and heavy rainfall could be possible, with chances of flash flooding.

Over the West and Pacific Northwest, the advisory added that cooler temperatures would be likely in the region on Thursday.

In addition, residents are warned of the potential high temperatures in the Central US this week. Older adults, pregnant women, people with medical conditions, children, and outdoor workers are at risk.

Limiting outdoor activities is also recommended to stay safe from the heat. Homeowners should also never leave their children and pets inside hot vehicles.

NESDIS via NOAA Satellite View as of September 19, 2023. The central US can expect above-average temperatures this week. Meanwhile, a low-pressure system will bring heavy rain to the Northeast.

In the Northeast and New England, rainy conditions and possible flooding could unload in the region this week due to a low-pressure system.

As of the September 18 advisory, the forecast warned of possible flooding in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont portions. Residents can likely experience one to two inches of rain on Tuesday night.

Over Rhode Island to Central Maine, isolated flash flooding could unload this week. In the midweek, there is a chance that the rain will decrease.

Residents near the flood-prone or low-lying areas should monitor the rapid rise of floodwaters, especially this week.

The latest forecast on the US East Coast warned of a possible tropical threat this week. The low pressure in the region can play a significant role in the flooding rainfall.

From Friday to Saturday, increased flood risk and rough surf could be likely due to heavy rain potential in the following areas:

  • New York
  • Washington
  • Charleston
  • Jacksonville
  • Portland
  • Boston
  • Buffalo
  • Pittsburgh

Americans can experience more tropical developments and potential hurricanes as September becomes active in storms.

Furthermore, homeowners should keep updated with the latest forecasts to anticipate the severe weather impacts until the weekend.

Preparing home emergency kits will be a lifesaver if floodwaters cause inaccessible road conditions and evacuations.
